The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Oh, I know it, sis!

I have a T1 at work and coming home to dial-up just sucks.

They finally got it down to $32 a month, which I can do without a problem.

Worth every penny in my opinion. :-D

I've heard plenty of horror stories.

That's why I plan on going to my bank and having them block the debits.

If AOHell won't let me go, they'll eventually stop since they aren't getting a penny. *grin*

I'd rather catch the Black Death than AOL. You've got a better chance of it going away.

Y'all have to make sure you see this story.

I think I mentioned a couple of weeks ago (maybe when Rosie was talking about wanting a new computer?) that a local school system here was selling 1,000 iBooks for $50 each.

It was pure pandalerium. < /foxworthy>

Went through a real slow period here a bit ago.... Might be internet weirdness from that virus, might just be internet weirdness.

Well, that is where they have the State Fair (although they're relocating)...and NASCAR.

Stories are amazing though. 12,000 people and five police officers were assigned. Then when it was time to start, they didn't bring people thru the line, they just oppened the flippin' gates!

But about 11,000 people need some remedial math. There were only 1,000 to be sold. If I'm number 3,000 in line, I'm probably better off buying 50 lottery tickets.

...and asking 7-11 if I can use their restroom.

I enjoyed that thread earlier about CNN and others getting nailed with the worm. Heh...

So far so good here at da Lazy X ranch. Pushed out patches and updates and patterns... firewall appears to be holding.

Wassup Ramius? I heard you were a bit under the weather. You should come to Miami to recuperate.
